"LOCK and LOAD"?..."A MILITARY COUP"?
The following, "Bush Resigns," is one of those usual/spam-like satirical e-mails forever making the rounds of the Internet. This one ends by saying..."God bless what's left of America," that's what caught my eye, and coincidentally, something I've also come to think and say more and more lately.

In its simplicity, that e-mail mentions many things that are right on target, but to me it sounds more like what average real Americans must be thinking these days, and not likely so much what GWB is thinking.
But why bring this up, or even bother posting to the Internet at all? Does it matter? Does it make any difference? You're damn right it does! To begin with, government is completely out of control, not within the hands of the people, and we gave it to them, knowingly or unknowingly, that doesn't matter, the fact is we did it willingly and without so much as a whimper, let alone a fight. They/them being the elected politicians. Maybe even, in addition, a lot more of them of the "useful idiot" and "fellow traveler" species.
We have all been humbugged, every last one of us. Not only by the state, but by the socialist educational (indoctrinational) system, the media, Hollywood, big business, etc., etc. And last but not least ourselves, through peer pressure, yes, every last one of us is affected to some degree or other, conditioned to accept whatever is heaped upon us.
So, it's not only what's left of America, but how many (or few) real Americans are really left? Not as many as we would hope, I'm sure. This is no longer the America of the 1940s and '50s. And I am now an old geezer myself, so what I am referring to goes a long ways back. It didn't just come upon us overnight. The young people now do not at all have the same frame of reference of me or my peers. To say that we are not cut from the same cloth is an understatement. "This ain't yer Grandpap's America anymore, baby, " is not just part of the modern slang.
How could this hppen, and how did this happen? Answer: All the usual suspects, with we ourselves at the top of the list. I have often seen articles written, and talking heads on the "lobotomy box" decrying the fact that it seems that we just don't have leaders like we used to. Probably so, I have been fond of pointing out that the MacArthurs, Pattons, Chesty Pullers, LeMays, etc. just aren't being made any longer. Or is it that the present system does not allow them to exist.
Again and again, the hue and cry goes out that things have never been so bad, and I have said this, too. Just lately I have read articles where noted writers are saying things I have never heard before by such people.
Pat Buchanan used the phrase, "time to lock and load," Tom Sowell openly wonders if, "...the only thing that can save the country is a military coup," another writer questions, "does GWB know something we don't know, " etc.
Perhaps Peggy Noonan sums it all up best in her article titled, "Too Bad," I think.
I intended to provide here the specific references and articles by the authors mentioned above. But I think I will just refer anyone interested to the following website....

It's all there, and more.
So, we can all just deny it, go get a beer, or cope with it however we choose. Or maybe just write up a rant and post it to the Internet--good therapy the shrinks say.
